Product Information

Full details

The Philips Essential ThermoProtect Straightener (BHS378/00) is designed for users seeking quick, easy styling for smooth, shiny hair. Its key benefit lies in the keratin-infused plates and ThermoProtect technology that ensures even heat and gentle styling. A minor caveat is its lack of a built-in display for precise temperature confirmation, relying instead on LED indicators. This straightener offers 6 temperature settings, rapid 30-second heat-up, and ionic care for frizz-free results, making it a practical choice for everyday use.

FAQs

How do I choose the right temperature setting?

For fine or damaged hair, start with lower temperatures (160°C-180°C). For normal to thick hair, use medium to high temperatures (180°C-230°C). Always experiment cautiously to find what works best for your hair type.

Can I use this on wet hair?

No, this straightener is designed for use on dry hair only. Using it on wet hair can cause significant damage.

How long does the ionic function last?

The ionic function is integrated into the heating process and is active whenever the straightener is on and heating up, working to reduce frizz as you style.

What is the purpose of the ThermoProtect technology?

ThermoProtect technology ensures that the heat is distributed evenly across the plates, preventing hot spots and reducing the risk of hair damage, allowing for gentle yet effective styling.

How do I activate the safety lock?

The safety lock is typically a small switch or button that keeps the plates closed when the straightener is not in use, making it safer to store.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to the product packaging or the official Philips website for specific warranty information, as it may vary by region.

Can I curl my hair with this straightener?

This model is designed primarily for straightening. While some basic waves might be achievable with advanced techniques, it is not intended for curling.

Troubleshooting

Hair straightener not heating up

Ensure the device is properly plugged into a working power outlet. Check if the power switch is turned on. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Hair feels frizzy or not smooth after use

Ensure the ionic function is active (if applicable to the setting used). Make sure you are using the correct temperature setting for your hair type. For thicker hair, try a higher setting. Ensure hair is completely dry before straightening.

Straightener is difficult to glide through hair

Ensure the plates are clean and free of any product residue. Use a smaller section of hair for straightening. Consider using a heat protectant spray on your hair before styling.
